WHO WE ARE
|
We believe health outcomes
can be improved through parallel development of the community and the medical
profession’s capacity to support prevention, care and treatment of disease and
illness. In our work, we are guided by the following vision, mission, and objectives.
Our Vision A healthy society in which medical care is accessible to all communities regardless of socioeconomic level; in which women and their families are educated and informed about reproductive health, family planning, and newborn care; and in which preventable disease no longer threatens lives. _
Our Mission To organize and promote community-based health care development in Rwanda. We work to build sustainable alliances between the community and professional health care providers, as well as to empower providers to better educate and serve their communities. Through education and improved health care capacity at different levels, we seek to bridge the inequalities in health care in our country. Our Objectives 1) To build the capacity of Rwandan communities and institutions to provide better health services to all segments of Rwandan society. This includes advocating for the right to affordable health care services for all. 2) To contribute to the fight against infectious and preventable diseases, including HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis, through education and empowerment of both local health care workers and patients. 3) To educate young people, especially primary and secondary school youth, about reproductive health, family planning, HIV/AIDS, STIs, and drug and alcohol awareness. 4) To support those who wish to serve disadvantaged communities through a sustainable, local and international volunteer program. |
